Using Your SMB CAT5 KVM Switch
Updating Firmware
The SMB CAT5 KVM Switch features flash-upgradeable firmware to ensure
compatibility with the latest devices and servers. Firmware upgrades are free for
the life of your SMB CAT5 KVM Switch.
To update your firmware, download the appropriate firmware file and utility
from www.belkin.com/support/. The utility will guide you through the process
of updating the firmware on your SMB CAT5 KVM Switch.
WARNING! We strongly recommend that you update your firmware only if you
are experiencing mouse and keyboard problems with your SMB CAT5 KVM
Switch, as reconfiguring software may lead to unexpected operational problems.
Please contact Belkin Technical Support if you need assistance.

To update the firmware, you will need the following items:

1. A separate server running Windows 2000 or XP. This server must not be
connected to the server ports on the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch.
2. An available serial port on the server.
3. A custom Serial Flash Cable (DB9 male-to-RJ11; included with purchase)
that connects between the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch and the server.
